Shaking Off the Chains Songtext
von Black Sabbath

Is life everything you want it to be?
Does it give you everything that you need?
Does it live up to your expectations?
Are you ready for the celebrations?

This is not for the weak of mind
Are you sure that you′re my kind?
Do you want to be part of me?
Are you sure that you can really see?

Are you chained to a life you don't want?
Is it hard for you to find a way out?
Can you live without the love that you need?
Are you sure that what you have is so real?

This is not for the weak of mind
Are you sure that you′re my kind?
Do you want to be part of me?
Are you sure that you can really see?


All of your life
They try to take your cover
Turn you into another
And make you change your name

When you fall
It's up to you to recover
You can't depend on another
To help you with the pain, yeah

I′m shaking off the chains
I′m shaking off the chains

This is not for the weak of mind
Are you sure that you're my kind?
Do you want to be part of me?
Are you sure that you can really see?

In the night
You say that things are falling
People always calling
Calling out your name

What do you know
A face appears at the window
Tapping on that window
The window of your soul


I′m shaking off the chains
I'm tired of all the pain
I′m shaking off the chains
Let me live again
Shaking off the chains
Shaking off the chains
